Mozgov was guarding the 3 point line better than any of our guards tonight.
He's about the only guy I like on this team right now. He's not a star C but he's definitely a quality C. He blocks shots, takes up space, fights for boards, finishes off the pick and roll, and gives full effort on defense.
Mozgov is definitely a guy who would be an adequate starter on many NBA title team. If he stays healthy, we can't use lack of a C as an excuse this season.
Didn't need help? Did you watch that 1st half where Gay would just catch the ball, notice J.R. Smith was "guarding" him and back him right into the paint for something very, very easy. We didn't have a soul on the roster who was even being a slight annoyance to Gay. Mozgov probably got tired of watching that shit and started doubling him.
Somehow he was regularly the guy to challenge corner 3s, too.
I can't wait till Shumpert and Marion are healthy because then we might have a couple of guys who aren't total messes on defense to help Mozgov. But right now he's starting with Irving, Smith, Miller, and Love. That's a minus defender at all four spots. All four. Mozgov can only do so much.
Is it completely sad that Smith looks more competent than Irving when feeding big men in the post?Yup. Wouldn't mind seeing him get some more post touches, he was getting deep position a bunch of times but kept getting looked off by Kyrie. He's not a great offensive player but he has some talent and decent footwork, might be worth seeing what he's got.

It's The Moz people.
It's not that hard.
Found this messing around online and thought of you good sir since you finally got your center.
